Eternal Darkness 0.9.3

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem on the PlayStation 5 (homebrew, title PPSA99314) at 4K and up to 120 frames a second, built from Eternal Darkness Recomp 0.9.3.

European disc only (GEDP01). The USA disc is not supported. You need your own disc image (.iso or .gcm): the game's program, graphics, sound and music come from it.

What's new in 0.9.3

• Camera options (beta): Options > Game > Camera adds two cameras beside the game's own fixed ones
  • Third person: behind the character you play, turned with the right stick (up and down for closer or further), kept inside the room by the game's own collision, swinging round what's in the way
  • First person: through their eyes, looking around with the right stick; looking closely at something hands over to the game's own shot and back; their arms and weapon appear while you aim
• No more freezes when sanity effects hit: the picture no longer stops while the game carries on (seen in the later chapters when an enemy's stare drains your sanity)
• No more freeze fast-forwarding a cutscene
• Sound no longer loops after the in-game menu at 120 frames a second
• The text boxes' scroll arrows are drawn smooth
• A hang is reported after 6 seconds instead of 20

Updating from 0.9.0

Copy the new PPSA99314 folder over the old one. Your saves, settings, disc and textures stay as they are.

Install

1. Download EternalDarkness-PS5-0.9.3.zip below and unzip it: a PPSA99314 folder.
2. Copy that folder to the console as /data/homebrew/PPSA99314/ over FTP (include sce_sys/icon0.png in the first upload, or ShadowMountPlus won't register it).
3. Put your European disc image in /data/homebrew/PPSA99314/dump/ (any name).
4. Start Eternal Darkness from the home screen (restart ShadowMountPlus if it doesn't appear). The first start reads the game from your disc.

Needs a PS5 that runs homebrew (etaHEN or similar) with ShadowMountPlus and an FTP server.

Also in this version

• 4K at 60 frames a second, or 120 on a TV with a 120 Hz mode (VRR), full colour
• Cutscene fast-forward: hold R1 while a scene or movie plays
• The game's own 16:9 widescreen, with the HUD at the screen's edges (4:3 too)
• Sharp baked shadows
• The game's text redrawn crisp (Sharp or Tome)
• Dolphin HD texture packs in /data/homebrew/PPSA99314/textures/, PNG or DDS, with supplement folders beside the main pack
• Modern controls and remapping with PlayStation button prompts everywhere, including the Tome; Create opens the pause menu
• Save anywhere: four save slots in the pause menu, plus memory cards A and B
• Every component's licence in licenses/
• Problem reports in saves/reports/
